FEBRUARY

The amateur spirit of running is never more alive than in the dead of February. Temperatures plummet. Lungs sting. The pavement below your feet is encased in an uneven crust of snow, slush, ice and salt. Some days are simply insufferable. But you suffer them nonetheless.

For those who own February's inclement weather we built the No Days Off Collection for you.

To capture the plight of February running, we followed two of the sport's top amateurs - sub-four minute miler Taylor Gilland and Olympian Ruben Sanca - through a day of intense training. Photography by Emily Maye.

Taylor is used to training in the early hours before his sixteen-hour work days. So no need to change things on the weekend.

Greatness may sit in the cubicle next to yours. Mild-mannered investment banker by day, the 24-year-old is one of only 430 Americans to ever break four minutes in the mile.

At 28 years old, the Cape Verdean marathoner is living the American dream. Ruben has a degree from UMASS Lowell and is currently balancing a full-time job with training to qualify for the 2016 Olympics.

A french-press pit stop before the second training session. Stayed longer than intended. Taylor had a crush on the barista.

Taylor’s afternoon shakeout run is Ruben’s warm-up. The morning tempo run was enough hard work for the miler. But the marathoner has another 10k worth of running at half-marathon pace to cap off his supercompensation day.
